Glide through Tianjin's extraordinary European concession districts — Italian, French, British — on a private e-bike tour that reveals the city's astonishing Belle Époque streetscapes and the stories of the tycoons and diplomats who built them.
What to expect
Set off from the cruise terminal on quality e-bikes, immediately entering the Italian Concession's tree-lined piazzas — a genuinely surreal corner of China that feels transplanted from Milan. Your guide narrates the colonial-era intrigue at each landmark: the mansion where Emperor Puyi lived in exile, the old Astor Hotel where Herbert Hoover honeymooned. Cross into the French and British quarters before finishing with espresso at Tianjin's oldest Italian café. Total cycling distance is relaxed at ~14 km.
